FWIW, I leave DXB running 24 hours a day with spots pouring in. Running
it on XP right now. Never had this issue either if you're wondering if
the spots overload it. The only thing I notice is my log disappears
occasionally but I can minimize it and bring it back up and there it
is. Still loving DXB. Been a user since the very first version. I'm a
challenged user too.

Gary do you leave your DXB running all the time?
I have never heard anyone mention this before and I am sure its not an
issue with "normal" usage but I would like to know if it is an issue at all.
How much memory is on your system and what is the OS, Bill?

Fortunately it is not a big deal. If it were my contesting program,
Writelog, that would be different. I have used Writelog without a hitch
for years. I really have no need for the automated CW from DXBase so I just
turned it off and I am fine. My setup is almost identical to Gary's so I
guess it will just remain a mystery! :-) Most computer stuff is a mystery
to me anyway. I do love my DXBase. It and I just finished DXCC #340 this
year so it is my old friend.
Merry Christmas,

Well, then I am mystified as to Bills problem. I also run the microHAM
MKII keyer with DXbase 2007 (on an old Vista Dell laptop) and use the CW
memory buffers without a hitch. Never seen and out of memory message.

I do not think the cluster spots will cause any excessive memory usage, it
sounds like activating cw memories is the problem. I have kept DXB up for
weeks here getting spots.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that and I do leave the cluster running
continuously. Although, I have used this same setup for years and it just
started happening. Now that the CW sending feature is disabled, the "out
of
memory" message has gone away.
I will follow up on your suggestion! Thanks.
W5VX, Bill

Bill,
Are you connected to a DX cluster and continuously receiving spots? If
so
the incoming spots over several days could be filling up your available
memory. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but check the Options page
for a way to limit the number of spots retained in memory.

I have been using the same version of DXBase for several years. It is
DXBase
2007 Version 1.06 and it is on a Windows XP machine. It works great and I
have seen no reason to change it. The other day, on a lark, I thought I
would set up the CW memories so that I could send from DXBase. I have
used
Writelog for years and it sends CW very nicely using my Microham CW
Keyer.
I set it up and it seemed to work fine, seemed like it was a little
flakey
but nothing I could put my finger on. After a week or so I got an "out of
memory" message from the computer. I leave DXBase running all the time
and
reboot seldom so I figured it needed to be rebooted. I did that and it
worked OK but after a week or so I got the "out of memory" message again
and
this time it locked up the computer. I looked to see what I had running
in
the background and found nothing unusual.
I am certainly not very knowledgeable about computers. I went in and
reset
the comport that I was using so that the CW memories wouldn't work and
have
had no further problems. This is not a big deal, I would seldom use the
CW
memories but I am a little curious if anyone else has run into this?
W5VX, Bill Parry
